Definitions
- the present invention relates to an actuating system for at least two moving elements dynamically and dynamically compensated relative movements, without disturbing the environment and resistant to external stresses.
- One of the main applications of the actuation systems to which the present invention relates relates to mechanisms of "Phase Modulation” type for space optical instruments, intended to perform cycles of rotation or translation of a “modulator blade” with position increments (four-phase modulation).
- this mechanism is located between the separating blade and one of the two mirrors with echelettes.
- the "tilt” angle (case of rotation) or the linear displacement (case of translation) of the “modulator blade (s)” makes it possible to modify the length of an optical path.
- FIG. 1 We have schematized figure 1 an autonomous and non-disruptive control system 1 for controlling opposite and synchronized rotational movements of two elements, an optical plate 11, and a counterweight frame 10 rotatably supported about a common axis "O" by means of a bearing comprising the flexible elements 12, 13 and similar to the bearing 34 shown in FIG. figure 5 , the whole being part of a spatial optics instrument.
- This system essentially comprises: support frame 9, two actuators 14a, 14b arranged to exert a torque between the elements 10 and 11, in order to orient them relative to an angle ⁇ .
- the actuators are of the piezoelectric type.
- the element 10 has at its ends inertia parts 10a, 10b for limiting the mass of the assembly.
- the boundaries of the optical beam path received by the device 1 have been delimited by two broken lines T1, T2.
- the system represented in figure 2 comprises: a rigid carrier structure 9 supporting two compensating prismatic optical plates 10 and 11 by means of identical flexible guide metal strips 12a, 13a, these two compensating prismatic optical plates 10 and 11 being driven by two specific actuators14a and 14b.
- a blade 13a is shown in the enlarged detail view in the right portion of the figure 2 .
- each setting in motion of an element must be compensated by an equivalent load in the opposite direction and on an axis passing through the centers of gravity of the moving elements. It is the same for rotary mechanisms where the centers of gravity of the moving elements must preferentially be on a single axis of rotation.
- the system presented in figure 1 proposes a specific actuator to motorize each element, which multiplies the number of components.
- the synchronization of the movements is obtained by complex electronic circuits.
- the non-convergence of the thrust vectors of the actuators and the desynchronization of the movements are generating dispersions towards the instrument.
- the linear system presented in figure 2 also proposes a specific actuator to motorize each of the two elements.
- the non-convergence of the two thrust vectors of the actuators and the electronic synchronization of the movements are generating dispersions towards the instrument.
- the present invention relates to an actuating system for at least two moving elements dynamically and dynamically compensated relative movements, without disturbing the elements fixed in the same rigid structure as him, and resistant to external stresses.
- Such a system must be compact and without play, it must ensure “automatic" synchronization of the movement of these moving elements (without the need for an additional synchronization mechanism) by being self-stacked (without the need for a specific stacking mechanism), and very precise (accuracy as required for optical instruments) and having a long life (for example more than 15 years).
- the first embodiment of the actuating system is an actuating system for at least two movable elements with relative translational movements, and it is characterized in that it comprises, in a rigid structure, the at least one linear actuator connected to a motion transmission device with four rigid arms, articulated at their ends and forming a rhombus each of whose two opposite first vertices is connected to a corresponding movable element and whose two other opposing vertices have a single degree translational freedom and are connected to the actuator, each of the two movable elements being only connected to one of said first vertices.
- the second embodiment of the actuating system is an actuating system for at least two moving elements with dynamically compensated relative rotation movements and is characterized in that it comprises, in a rigid structure, at least one linear actuator connected to a rigid four-arm motion transmission device articulated at their ends and forming a rhombus, each arm of each pair of opposing arms being connected at one end to a movable member and the other side to a movable element, the two opposite peaks of the rhombus having the connection to the actuator (s) having a single degree of freedom in translation, and it is characterized in that the movable elements are articulated each on at least one landing.
- the system of the invention uses a combination of articulated levers to obtain, from a linear input movement, two reciprocating movements in opposite directions (in rotation or in translation) perfectly synchronized.
- the arrangement of these levers is such that it makes it possible to eliminate the forces or torques exported from the mechanism to the elements fixed in the same rigid structure that it (elements that includes an optical bench, when the application of this system relates to optical instruments).
- the triangulation of these levers is such that it also makes it possible to bring the vibratory loads of the launch towards the actuators initiators of the movement and thus to avoid the use of a specific mechanism of stacking.
- the present invention is described below with reference to optical instruments for spacecraft, but it is understood that it is not limited to this single application, and that it can be implemented in various applications, embedded or not, in which it is necessary to print precise movements of translation or rotation, oscillatory or not (these movements being synchronized, that is to say symmetrical with respect to a nominal position or rest of relatively low amplitude, for example a few tenths of a millimeter or degree). mobile elements without disturbing their support devices, these elements being, if necessary, protected from abrupt acceleration that may suffer their supports.
- FIG. 3 An example of embodiment of the device of the invention for two different states: on the left side of the figure, this device is shown in the "rest” state, and on the right side of the figure, it is at the activated state of the actuator. In each of these two left and right parts of the figure 3 an embodiment of the device is shown below and at the top its equivalent functional diagram.
- the device of the invention is supported by a rigid structure, which is here a frame similar to that shown in FIG. figure 2 .
- a rigid structure which is here a frame similar to that shown in FIG. figure 2 .
- the uprights 15 of the frame support the two optical blades 16, 17, substantially parallel to each other, by means of flexible metal strips 18 allowing the optical blades translational movements parallel to their own plane. Note that since these strips 18 deform by rotating slightly, the distance between their ends decreases slightly, so the distance between the blades 16, 17 and the axis 19D varies slightly too.
- the movements of the optical blades are controlled by a linear actuator 19, for example of the piezoelectric type with a cylindrical body. From each end of the body 19A of this actuator protrudes an actuating arm, 19B, 19C respectively, these arms being coaxial with the axis 19D of the cylindrical body.
- the slats 18 are, in the state of rest, perpendicular to the axis 19D of the body of the actuator 19.
- the ends of the arms 19B, 19C of the actuator 19 are each connected, in a fixed or articulated manner (pivots 20 , 21), respectively to each optical blade 16, 17: the end of the arm 19B is connected to the blade 16, while the end of the arm 19C is connected to the blade 17.
- this actuator is mounted floating between the two mobile optical blades.
- each of these links is parallel, in the idle state, to the axis 19D and consists for example of two flexible metal strips parallel to each other and arranged at a small distance from one of the other (a few millimeters, for example, however, the greater the distance, the better guiding).
- these links may be made differently, provided that they comply with the said "Transverse flexibility”.
- each of the links 22, 23, a pivot 24, 25 is fixed respectively.
- Identical rigid rods 26, 27, 28 and 29 respectively connect the pairs of pivots 20-24, 24-21, 21-25 and 25-20, and thus form the sides of a regular rhombus. Since, as specified above, the strips 18 are made so as to allow the blades they support only translational movements parallel to the axis 19D, the pivots 20 and 21 can only move along of the 19D axis.
- the device described above may be composed of a single specific synchronization system if the mass to be set in motion can be symmetrical around the actuator.
- the movements allowed to the pivots 20, 24, 21 and 25 are translation movements with a single degree of freedom (if we neglect the slight variation in distance between the optical blades and the axis 19D, as noted above), this which is symbolized in the upper part of the figure 3 by “slides” G in which the corresponding pivots move.
- the actuator 19 is controlled so as to extend its arms 19B, 19C of the body 19A, the centers of the pivots 20 and 21 move away from each other by substantially following the axis 19D by driving the blades 16 and 17 in opposite directions and synchronously (of course, it is assumed here that the opposite movements of the arms of the actuator are synchronous with each other).
- the rhombus formed by the stems 26 to 29 flattens (right part of the figure 3 ), that is to say that the pivots 24 and 25 are closer to each other, and their centers move on the perpendicular bisector of the segment defined by the centers of the pivots 20 and 21. It results that the slats of the links 22 and 23 curve towards the axis 19D and that the pivots 24 and 25 move along a line perpendicular to the axis 19D, and therefore have a translational movement to a single degree of freedom.
- any acceleration suffered by the entire system of the invention does not change the relative positions of these two blades (if, of course, the arms of the actuator 19 are locked in their position). Conversely, the movements of the two optical blades are not transmitted to the frame, and therefore to the other instruments integral with this frame because these movements balance each other through the same rhombus.
- FIG. 4 a variant of the system of the figure 3 .
- elements similar to those of the figure 3 are assigned the same numerical references.
- the essential difference between these two systems is that the actuator 19 is mounted between the pivots 24 and 25 (these pivots 24 and 25, and the pivots 20 and 21 are modified accordingly, if necessary). Because in this embodiment of the figure 4 the same fixations are maintained by lamellas 18 of the optical plates 16, 17 and the same rhombus formed by the rigid rods 26 to 29, the above-mentioned advantages of the system of the figure 3 .
- the figure 5 illustrates the principle of rotational movement by a simplified diagram showing a single blade in two different positions, as well as a detail view in perspective of a guide bearing that can be used in the system of the invention, while the figure 6 represents the equivalent functional diagrams of the system of the invention with two optical blades in two different positions, and a partial schematic view of a detail of this system.
- the position 30A is the "rest” position (actuator not activated)
- the position 30B is the position of this same blade after a rotation of a few degrees in the clockwise direction printed by the actuator 31.
- the actuator 31, which may be the same as the actuator 19, as illustrated by the drawing, is shown only in the rest position, for which its two arms 31A, 31B are retracted to the maximum .
- the ends of the arms 31A, 31B each comprise a pivot (35A, 36A respectively) connected by a rigid rod 32, 33 respectively, to a pivot (30C, 30D, respectively) fixed on a corresponding end of the "horizontal" amount of the frame.
- the bearing 34 supporting the rotation of the blades of the system of the invention may be advantageously such as that shown in the detail view of the figure 5 .
- This bearing has been described in the French patent application N ° 07 53521 filed on 27.02.2007 , and will not be described here.
- the ends of the arms 31A, 31B are guided so as to have only one degree of freedom in translation (along a line coincident with the longitudinal axis of the actuator31), which is symbolized in FIG. Figures 5 and 6 by "slides 35 and 36.
- the complete system with two rotating optical blades or a blade and a counterweight element has been schematized in figure 6 , the left view corresponding to the "rest" position of the two movable elements (elements substantially parallel to each other), and the right view corresponding to a position after a small rotation of the two blades in opposite directions.
- This system comprises, in addition to the optical blade 30, a second optical blade 37, these two blades being each hinged on a bearing such as the bearing 34.
- Each optical blade is actuated by the actuator 31 by means of rigid rods 38, 39 in the same way that is actuated the blade 30.
- the rods 32, 33, 38 and 39 are arranged to form the sides of a regular rhombus.
- the elements fulfilling the function of the slides 35 and 36 are elements similar to the links 22 and 23 of the figures 3 and 4 .
- This device comprises a flexible linkage 40 constituted, like the link 23, of two flexible metal strips in the middle of the length of which a pivot 41 has been fixed which is connected. at the end of the arm 31B of the actuator.
- One of the ends of each of the rods 33 and 38 is articulated on a pivot 41.
- the slats of the link 40 are, for example, as shown in FIG. figure 7 , curved in the direction of the optical blades when the arms of the actuator 31 are retracted, and rectilinear (or curved in the opposite direction) when these arms are extended to the maximum of the body of the actuator.
- the other elements of this system of Figures 5 and 6 may be the same as those of the system of the figure 3 .
